im going to the bahamas for the first time in two weeks and i will be staying on bimini. i will have access to a boat and was wondering if there are any spots that have decent spearing near bimini? i am comfortable in pretty much anything under 55-60 feet and i know you can only use polespears or slings. im not asking for any honey holes here, just some general areas. anything would be greatly appreciated, thanks:thumps:

There is TONS of excellent bottom down that way, but from what I hear Gingerbread Grounds is incredible. Watch out for Tiger sharks. Look it up

thanks guys:thumps: ya i will definitely look up the gingerbread grounds because that sounds really good and its shallow enough that everyone can dive it

just looked upthe gingerbread grounds and they are supposed to be amazing. i also heard its kinda sharky but thats not to much of a problem if the waters clear:thumps: also? i was wondering if anyone had a polespear or sling they would be willing to trade for a camera? preferably something used like a puig, crist, or henley polespear?

You might also look up Victory Reef, starts in about 30-35, goes down past 80'... awesome dive!!! Its south of Bimini, near Cat Cay?? Its been awhile, so best bet would be to look it up...

Dive4Bugz is right. There is some great diving close to Bimini, both north and south of the Cay. There are groups of rocks, other cays, etc. and all are on the drop off for the edge of the gulf stream and a little east of it. You shouldn't have a problem.
